1 factum est autem post haec
percussit David Philisthim et humiliavit eos
et tulit David frenum tributi de manu Philisthim
2 et percussit Moab et mensus est eos funiculo coaequans terrae
mensus est autem duos funiculos
unum ad occidendum et unum ad vivificandum
factusque est Moab David serviens sub tributo
3 et percussit David Adadezer filium Roob regem Soba
quando profectus est ut dominaretur super flumen Eufraten
4 et captis David ex parte eius mille septingentis equitibus
et viginti milibus peditum
subnervavit omnes iugales curruum
dereliquit autem ex eis centum currus
5 venit quoque Syria Damasci
ut praesidium ferret Adadezer regi Soba
et percussit David de Syria viginti duo milia virorum
6 et posuit David praesidium in Syria Damasci
factaque est Syria David serviens sub tributo
servavit Dominus David in omnibus
ad quaecumque profectus est
7 et tulit David arma aurea quae habebant servi Adadezer
et detulit ea in Hierusalem
8 et de Bete et de Beroth civitatibus Adadezer
tulit rex David aes multum nimis
9 audivit autem Thou rex Emath
quod percussisset David omne robur Adadezer
10 et misit Thou Ioram filium suum ad regem David
ut salutaret eum congratulans et gratias ageret
eo quod expugnasset Adadezer et percussisset eum
hostis quippe erat Thou Adadezer
et in manu eius erant vasa argentea et vasa aurea et vasa aerea
11 quae et ipsa sanctificavit rex David Domino
cum argento et auro quae sanctificaverat de universis gentibus quas
subegerat
12 de Syria et Moab et filiis Ammon et Philisthim et Amalech
et de manubiis Adadezer filii Roob regis Soba
13 fecit quoque sibi David nomen cum reverteretur capta Syria
in valle Salinarum caesis duodecim
milibus
14 et posuit in Idumea custodes statuitque praesidium
et facta est universa Idumea serviens David
et servavit Dominus David in omnibus
ad quaecumque profectus est
15 et regnavit David super omnem Israhel
faciebat quoque David iudicium et iustitiam omni populo suo
16 Ioab autem filius Sarviae erat super exercitum
porro Iosaphat filius Ahilud erat a commentariis
17 et Sadoc filius Achitob et Ahimelech filius Abiathar
sacerdotes
et Saraias scriba
18 Banaias autem filius Ioiada super Cherethi et

1 And after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them: and David took Metheg-ammah out of the hand of the Philistines. 2 And he smote Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them down to the ground; even with two lines measured he to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive. And so the Moabites became David’s servants, and brought gifts.
3 ¶ David smote also Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his border at the river Euphrates. 4 And David took from him a thousand chariots , and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David houghed all the chariot horses , but reserved of them for an hundred chariots. 5 And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succour Hadadezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men. 6 Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought gifts. And the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went. 7 And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem. 8 And from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took exceeding much brass.
9 ¶ When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadadezer, 10 Then Toi sent Joram his son unto king David, to salute him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer, and smitten him: for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And Joram brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass: 11 Which also king David did dedicate unto the LORD, with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued; 12 Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah. 13 And David gat him a name when he returned from smiting of the Syrians in the valley of salt, being eighteen thousand men .
14 ¶ And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all they of Edom became David’s servants. And the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.
15 And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed judgment and justice unto all his people. 16 And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder; 17 And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Seraiah was the scribe; 18 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over both the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David’s sons were chief rulers.
